https://aiohealthpro.com/2efu91x Goosecross Cellars 2005 Syrah:  Dense, inky color with dark currant and berry flavor with dark chocolate and earth for good measure; smoke on the nose, too!  Heavy meats with this one. Not a deck sipper by any means.

https://inteligencialimite.org/2024/08/07/7xo8mk0i Twomey Cellars 2002 Napa Valley Merlot:  Our tasting associate made us aware of the optimal weather conditions for the merlot harvested from the Soda Canyon Ranch vineyards.  Concentrated is the word here with a dense color and jammy berry flavors.  Mocha appears at the end.  Very, very long finish. Paul loves merlot, but he had to admit that this one was too big to just sip.  We love steaks, so that’s not a problem!  However, this one will be for a special occasion; at $75.00 it was my splurge purchase!

Best Approachable Reds:

A tall order in this neck of the woods; however, there were a couple of reds that I thought were ready to drink now.  (These can also be kept on the wine rack for a bit longer).

https://solomedicalsupply.com/2024/08/07/pt1ip0s Christopher Creek 2005 Zinfandel: This winery was the closest comparison to an experience in a Virginia winery’s tasting room.  Several wines to tastes including a Viognier and a Chardonnay.  Very friendly tasting associate and a very unpretentious tasting room made us feel right at home.  The Zinfandel exhibited bright berry flavors—I noted strawberry and red currants; Paul jotted down cranberry and red currants.  We both noted spice, too.  More medium bodied than other California Zins.

Cheap Alprazolam Online Summers 2006 Zinfandel:  The most full bodied of the wines in this category, but I really liked sipping this one in the tasting room.  More extracted flavors than the Christopher Creek with vanilla on the finish and a nice acidity.  I guess my thoughts were barbeque sauce and steaks on the grill or even a pasta with tomato sauce.  The alcohol content was 14%—a bit more manageable than the 15% firewater we experienced at other wineries.

Clos Pegase Winery


https://foster2forever.com/2024/08/y1204ffupiy.html Best Wines for the Price:Clos Pegase Vin Gris:  A vibrant rose made from merlot grapes.  Strawberry and watermelon characteristics makes this one a crowd pleaser.  Versatile pour.  At $14, this was a real bargain.

Clos Pegase 2004 Merlot:  From Mitsuko’s Vineyard, this was Paul’s easy drinking merlot.  Big cherry nose and flavors with some spice.  This is actually blended with  small amounts of cabernet franc and malbec.  Ready to drink now, and at $24 a bottle a good deal.  Paul made off with two bottles!

https://oevenezolano.org/2024/08/ch47gqstg Cali 351 2006 Chardonnay:  For those who like the buttery Chardonnays but don’t like the sticker price, this Chardonnay is a winner.  Bolder bodied chardonnay here with buttery characteristics but still delivers nice pear flavors.  Visitors to the Napa area may remember this winery as Silver Rose; Silver Rose was recently sold to new managers and the wines now bear the Cali 351 label. At $27, a lovely Chardonnay without the big price tag.

https://sugandhmalhotra.com/2024/08/07/bsh3tkivn We’ll post maybe two more California entries, and then it’s back to Virginia wines—we promise!  Until then, visit Virginia wineries while summer warmth still has its arms wrapped around us, and mention that Virginia Wine Time sent you!
